Siheyuan: Buyers get rich from hunting

A few days later, the sun was shining brightly, the sky was as blue as a carefully carved gem, without a trace of clouds, and the weather was unusually pleasant, as if nature was cheering for the arrival of this day.

In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight shines through the gap in the curtains and gently awakens the sleeping city, Liu Ping'an is already standing in front of the mirror in high spirits. He washes carefully, and every procedure seems so serious and focused.

Wearing the brand new and neat work clothes, he seemed to be wearing a layer of armor, ready to meet new challenges. He combed his hair carefully, every hair was neatly attached to the scalp, and the whole person looked particularly energetic and energetic, with determination and expectation for the future shining in his eyes.

He knew that today was a crucial day - the new plant director would come to the steel mill for the first time to inspect the work. Therefore, he arrived at the factory in advance and made full preparations to meet this critical moment in the best possible manner. His steps were brisk and powerful, and each step showed his confidence and determination for the future.

When he stepped into the solemn gate of the steel mill, he could not help but feel an inexplicable excitement. He walked towards the conference room with a firm step, where the important meeting was held today. When he entered the conference room, he saw Deputy Director Li sitting next to him.

Their eyes met, as if there was a tacit understanding flowing without words. They shook hands gently, and the warmth of their hands passed through their palms, as if cheering each other up.

"Deputy Li, how is the situation in the factory recently?" Liu Ping'an asked with concern. His voice was low and powerful, revealing a calm temperament.

"Everything is fine, but some equipment needs maintenance." Deputy Director Li replied, his eyes shining with his love and dedication to work.

As they were talking, the door of the conference room was slowly pushed open, making a slight creaking sound. Everyone's eyes were focused on the door, and they saw the new factory director, Director Yang, walking in steadily. He was tall and straight, with a calm and resolute face, as if every step he took was stepping on people's heartstrings.

His eyes revealed an unquestionable majesty, but also a friendliness and care. Section Chief Chen, who was following behind him, seemed even more alert and flexible. He held a notebook tightly in his hand, ready to record every key point of the meeting.

The meeting went smoothly and efficiently. Director Yang briefly introduced his management philosophy and future work plan, and his words revealed his deep expectations and firm belief in the development of the steel mill. Section Chief Chen also elaborated in detail how the transportation department cooperates with the production department to ensure smooth transportation of materials. Their speeches gave everyone present a new hope and motivation.

Liu Pingan listened carefully to their speeches and nodded his head in agreement. He was thinking silently about how to integrate these new policies into his daily purchasing work and contribute to the development of the factory. His eyes were full of longing and determination for the future.

After the meeting, Liu Pingan did not dare to delay for a moment. He returned to his office as fast as the wind. Before he could even sit down, other buyers came to the office one after another as if they had made an appointment in advance. They knew that new purchasing tasks would be distributed today, so everyone seemed particularly energetic and full of energy.

Liu Ping'an swept his gentle and firm eyes over everyone, smiled slightly, and then spoke slowly: "Dear colleagues, this time we need to go to different towns to purchase various ingredients. These ingredients are all prepared for our factory canteen. Now let me arrange the tasks specifically. Xiao Zhao, you are responsible for purchasing fresh vegetables in Beixiang. Remember to select them carefully to ensure that every vegetable is the freshest; Xiao Qian, you go to Dongxiang to purchase meat. Don't be careless. You must carefully distinguish the quality of the meat and only buy those high-quality meats; Xiao Sun, you are responsible for purchasing rice, flour, grain and oil in Xixiang. This is a big matter related to everyone's food problem. You can't take it lightly! And Xiao Zhou, the fruits and condiments are handed over to you, you must keep a close eye on them..." In this way, Liu Ping'an assigned one item after another.

The buyers listened carefully and nodded to show that they understood. After the distribution was completed, they packed their bags and prepared to leave. Liu Pingan looked at their departing backs, his heart full of expectations and confidence. He knew that as long as everyone worked together, this procurement task would be successfully completed.

After assigning the tasks, Liu Pingan felt relieved. He looked up at the sky, the sun was shining, and his mood improved. It was still early, so he thought about where to go to kill time.

He first thought of Qin Huairu in the broadcasting room, the woman with a sweet voice and gentle personality. But then he thought that Qin Huairu must be busy broadcasting at this time and it would be inconvenient to disturb her. So he decided to go to a different place and go to the tavern at Zhengyangmen to meet Xu Huizhen and reminisce about the past.

The sun was shining and the breeze was blowing. Liu Ping'an rode a worn but well-maintained bicycle leisurely through the busy area of ​​the steel mill. The busy figures of the workers kept flashing before his eyes and the roar of the machines echoed in his ears, but his mood was particularly peaceful, as if he was isolated from the surrounding noise.

He walked slowly along the familiar path and finally stopped in front of a restaurant called "Huifeng Bistro". Although the restaurant looked a bit old, it was one of the most lively and popular places in the community. Before he walked in, Liu Ping'an saw Xu Huizhen busy behind the counter from a distance. She was wearing simple clothes and her hair was simply tied behind her head, looking very capable. However, it was this skillful movement and focused expression that made her exude a unique charm that made people unable to help but look at her a few more times.

Liu Pingan couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, it felt like he had seen a long-lost relative. He stood quietly at the door, watching Xu Huizhen busying herself skillfully, his heart filled with emotion.

Finally, Xu Huizhen raised her head and saw Liu Pingan standing at the door. A smile of surprise immediately blossomed on her face, as beautiful as a flower in full bloom in spring. She quickly put down her work, walked quickly to the door, and greeted him warmly: "Hey, Pingan is here! What a rare guest! Come in and sit down. We haven't seen each other for a while. We must have a good chat today."

Liu Ping'an smiled and nodded slightly, then followed Xu Huizhen into the tavern.

As soon as he stepped into the door, he saw the wolfdog that he had given to Xu Huizhen in the past. Now the wolfdog has grown strong and majestic, with shiny fur, and is now lying quietly in a corner of the backyard.

Liu Ping'an walked forward slowly, stretched out his hand and gently stroked the dog's head, while the wolfdog slightly raised its head and gazed at him with a pair of gentle and soft eyes, as if expressing its joy for his arrival. "This little guy is growing up so fast!"

Liu Ping'an couldn't help but sigh, with a smile on his face.

"Indeed, it is thanks to your careful care." Xu Huizhen responded gratefully, "It has become my most capable assistant now!"

The two walked into the house together, talking and laughing. Xu Huizhen enthusiastically filled a cup of hot tea for Liu Ping'an, and then they sat down and talked happily. Xu Huizhen told Liu Ping'an about some recent developments, including that her daughter Xu Jingli was helping Chen Xueru recently, and that the two got along very well and were inseparable all day. When Xu Huizhen mentioned this, a happy smile appeared on her face, as if she had foreseen her daughter's promising future.

Liu Pingan was happy for them. He said with emotion: "Children should be like this. It is important to be happy all day long, so that life can have a purpose." As they chatted, they couldn't help but go into the bedroom. The bedroom was decorated simply and warmly. A soft big bed was placed in the middle. The bed was covered with a light blue quilt and pillows, which looked very comfortable. There was a wooden wardrobe by the wall, on which some clothes and decorations were hung. There was a table lamp and a few magazines at the head of the bed, which made people feel peaceful and relaxed. There was a landscape painting on the wall, and a pot of green plants was placed by the bed, which added a bit of vitality to the whole room.

After a while, Xu Huizhen suddenly said that her tavern would be closed for a few days, and she would take her daughter back to her hometown. "Why do you want to go back suddenly?" Liu Ping'an asked in surprise. "Something happened at home, and I need to go back to deal with it." Xu Huizhen explained, "My mother's health is not very good, and I want to go back to see her. But it will only be a few days, and I will be back soon."

Liu Pingan nodded to show his understanding. He knew Xu Huizhen was a filial daughter who always cared about her mother. At the same time, he also knew that Xu Huizhen had a hard time these years. Not only did she have to take care of her children, but she also had to run a tavern, which was very hard.

The two chatted for a while about family and life, and time passed unknowingly. Finally, Liu Ping'an gently patted Xu Huizhen on the shoulder and said, "Take good care of yourself. If you have any difficulties, tell me at any time." Xu Huizhen smiled and nodded, her heart full of gratitude.

Seeing that it was getting late, Liu Pingan stood up to say goodbye. Xu Huizhen saw him to the door, and the two said goodbye reluctantly.

Liu Ping'an was pushing his bicycle, and just a few steps out of the tavern, he saw two figures walking slowly in front of him. When he looked closely, it turned out to be the little girl Xu Jingli who was sent back by Chen Xueru. Xu Jingli was jumping in front, and from time to time she looked back to see if Chen Xueru was catching up; while Chen Xueru followed closely behind, with a happy smile on her face all the time.

"Jingli!" Liu Ping'an smiled when he saw the little girl, called out her name affectionately, and welcomed her with open arms. Hearing the familiar call, Xu Jingli looked up, and when she found it was Liu Ping'an, she immediately ran over like a happy little bird, and responded loudly while running: "Uncle Liu!"

Liu Pingan hugged the little girl who ran over and then spun around in circles. The little girl was startled by this sudden action, but soon got used to it and let out bursts of clear and pleasant laughter, the silver bell-like laughter filled the entire street.

"Uncle Liu, you are so strong!" Xu Jingli said happily, hugging Liu Ping'an's neck.

"Of course, uncle has practiced it specially!" Liu Ping'an blinked mysteriously and successfully made the little girl laugh again.

After dropping off Xu Jingli, Liu Pingan pushed his bicycle and went to Chen Xueru's home. As soon as they entered the house, Chen Xueru warmly invited Liu Pingan to sit down, poured him a cup of tea, and the two began to chat about their recent situation. They talked about trivial matters in life and work, and before they knew it, the topic became more and more in-depth, and the atmosphere became relaxed and happy.

As they chatted, Liu Pingan found himself being led to the bedroom by Chen Xueru. The room was elegantly and warmly decorated, with an exquisite painting of a lady hanging on the wall, adding a cultural heritage to the entire space. A pot of blooming jasmine was placed beside the bed, and the snow-white flowers exuded a light fragrance that filled the air, making people feel relaxed and happy.

After a while, Chen Xueru suddenly said, "My cloth shop will be closed for a few days, and I plan to go back to my hometown with Xu Huizhen." Her voice was soft, as if with a hint of hesitation.

Liu Pingan looked at her in confusion and asked, "Why do you suddenly want to go back to the countryside?"

Chen Xueru frowned slightly, with a hint of worry in her eyes: "My mother is not feeling well. Sister Huizhen has decided to go back, and I want to go with her to see her." Her tone was full of concern for her family.

Liu Pingan nodded his head to show his understanding. He knew how important family affection was to a person, especially when a family member needed care. He said softly, "Then be careful on the way and stay safe."

Chen Xueru looked at him gratefully, smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern. I will."

The two chatted for a while, Liu Pingan looked at the time and felt that it was getting late, so he stood up and said goodbye. Chen Xueru saw him to the door, and the two waved goodbye. Looking at Liu Pingan's back, Chen Xueru felt a complicated emotion in her heart. She didn't know what challenges and changes she would face when she returned to her hometown this time, but she believed that no matter what, her family would always be the most solid backing.

A few days later, the sun still shone brightly on the earth, the sky was as blue as a gem, flawless, cloudless, and the weather was particularly pleasant. Liu Ping'an stood in front of the gate of the steel mill, breathing the fresh air deeply, feeling the freshness and vitality, and his heart was full of expectations and confidence for the future. He knew that no matter how life changed, the friendship and family affection between them would be as warm and lasting as this bright sunshine. He stepped into the steel mill with firm steps, ready to welcome a brand new day.

Today, he will devote himself to work with the greatest enthusiasm and in the best condition, and contribute his own strength to the vigorous development of the steel rolling mill. At the same time, he is looking forward to gathering with Xu Huizhen, Chen Xueru and other friends again, sharing every bit of life together, whether it is a happy or happy moment, so that each other can feel the beauty of life.
